Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) Fund Raiser

[Guest guest]

Hi all. I am posting the below email from one of my daughters in an effort to

help her raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) which

ultimately helps her sister. I am not fully sure if this is appropriate or not,

but I figured it is worth a try. To anyone that thinks this is inappropriate I

offer my most sincere apologies and would love to hear your comments in an

effort for me to get a better understanding of what other people think about

what I am doing here.

Thank you,

" Hey Family!

I'm sending you all the link to the fundraising webpage I set up in 's

Honor. I haven't even had it up a week and already have $540!!! Josh and I both

need to raise $3,300 by August 4th in order to do the marathon in her honor

(marathon is October 18). 75% of the money raised goes directly to the Leukemia

and Lymphoma Society (LLS) who funded the clinical trials for the Gleevac she's

now taking! They continue to fund clinical trials to find a cure-and that's the

whole purpose of Josh and I doing this-to find a cure. Why? You may ask. Because

I'm not satisfied with only have 2 options (Gleevac or transplant) for my

sister. Josh and I really need your support and encouragement while we do this,

as it's a pretty big task to raise almost 7k in a couple months. Save it as your

home page so every time you open the internet you can track our progress.

I love you all!

Hi ,

Your post is not a problem at all....it is CML related and we are all happy to

hear that 's sister and Josh will be raising funds for the L & L Society.

It's helps the patient a lot when the whole family takes on the cause and

focuses on getting the best of care and getting well.

We have some CML members who also have run marathons or 1/2 marathons or bike

rides to raise money. Virginia Garner is one of them. She was in the first

Gleevec trial and has done great and has run several or many marathons and she

also posts about her fund raising on the list.

Best to your whole family,

C. (a 10 year survivor)
